The storm ragged until past 8 O'Clock, but at

S. Hamlen q Co. by the death of Mr.. Freder-
lex w. Hobson, one Of the partners, and in
order to unite all interests which are repre-
scented in the property and business of the
firm, it was deemed advisable by the sur

legal representatives of the deceased part
ner. to make an assignment of all the prop
erty and estate of the firm and Of the indi-
yidual members of the firm to Mr.. Joseph S.
Kicker in the interest of all the creditors
and for the protection of the business and
for the purpose of liquidating the affairs of

very profitable contracts which it is now
performing for the manufacture of barrels,
and that its property is largely in mills, ma
chinery and manufactured stock which
could not be Immediately converted into cash
without large loss, but which, il properly
managed, as it will be by Mr.. Kicker, as

Wharf at FALMOUTH ForesIde

1t is understood that meeting will soon
be held at Falmouth Foreside to see what
the people of that place will do towards
building steamboat wharf at thai place
which number of interested people propose
to establish there. About $500 is wanted to
extend the proposed wharf SO that the water
at the end will be at least four feet deep at
low tide. If this can be done small steam
boat to run between this city and Freeport,
touching at Falmouth Foreside, Cumberland
and Yarmouth, will be put on the line next
summer. As quite large number of per-
sons are interested in the matter and are
willing to help the enterprise along, it is
probable that steamer will run to these
places next summer as has been previously
stated in the PRESS.

A skllful Operation.

A skilfui operation was recently performed
at the Maine General Hospital on a patient
who, by the removal of a cancer from his
nose, lost great portion of that prominent
feature. In order to fill up the cavity flap
of flesh was cut from his forehead, leaving a
stem by which it remained connected with
it, while the flap was twisted about so as to
supply the need of the nose. The skin of
the forehead was soon drawn together, and
the patient was put in possession of a new
nose cut from his forehead.

MT. ffSStueTt UHu UtUtttWtU.
The eloquent and just tributes that have
been rendered to the memory OF the dead by
my associate of the committee ON resolu-
tions truthfully express the sentiments en-
tertained by the members Of this Club and
the entire community. No eulogies from us
can add to the bright lnstre which encirces
the name of Joseph X. Bodwell, or increase
the high and profound respect entertained
for him by the community His name was
known and respected in every household
within the limits of the State, nor was it
circumscrlbed by State lines. Maine has
not only lost an upright, honest and patriotic
citizen, but an able, fearless and c0nscien-
tious executive His sudden and lamented
death excites a feeling of personal bereave-
ment and sorrow In the hearts of all. His
familiar with its history his success was his
own. BY great industry, by constant and
unremittiug toll. by strict and unhinching
devotion to duty, coupled with sincerity and
honesty of purpose, he wrought out as of
solid granite, his success in life. He had no
strong arm in his younger days to sustain
and strengthen him in his onward path no
kindred of wealth or in high official station,
to aid him or soften and smooth the
rough and rugged pathway in which he
was travelling to success and distinction.
He was self-reliant, be was man of firm
and decided convictions, earnest and sincere
in the discussion of all questions, whether
they pertained to the great business problems
in which he was interested or concerned the
public welfare and the immediate interests
of the State and nation. He was never OBJ
trusiye or austere in his manner, but cour-
teens and affable to all, and honorably and
conscientiously administered the duties of
his great Office in the interest of good govern
ment
He was of the people. His elevation to the
high position of trust which he occupied did
not withdraw him or his sympathies from
them, and his recognition to all was as free,
as frank and generous as before. He appre-
ciated the true duties resting upon him as
the chief magistrate of great and growing
State, inhabited by industrious, progressive
and public spirited citizens. He realized
that ours is a government ''of the people and
for the people," He recognized the true
theories Of our system of government, that
the people were the sovereigns, and that he
was their servant to administe ter the laws and
conduct the affairs of the State for their
welfare and for the public good. The doors
of the Executive Mansion were WIDE open
TO all: no citizen of the State was ever rs
fused access or turned away; every one
having business there was accorded re-
spectfnl, attentive and patient hearing, and
felt that whatever might be the conclusion
